Do you really think that a "system language", or just a

I still can't recall any major language that doesn't have a
standard, what is the language/s you are thinking about ?
C was standardized in 1989. C++ was standardized in 1998. I'm
unaware of ISO (or any other) standardization for Go, Python,
Perl, Objective C, or PHP. And as I recall there is no ISO
standard Java, and only for some old version of C#.
ISO standardization is very expensive. D is not even close to the
popularity level necessary to begin thinking about that.
